Finger hook pointing you
homo and boko and that
trees de-bought and we
well, I’m disappointed too
I rather not see you more
so don’t appear in my light
house, eyes to the side
how did you get on my crag
the seas surely should
don’t stay long on here
on the berg my resolve
with the must of the same.

Switch Galaxy Ultra is a reflex based racing game available as a download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4 and PS Vita. Switch Galaxy Ultra originated as an iOS game called Switch in 2011 which was improved before releasing it as a PlayStation Mobile game under the name Switch Galaxy in 2013 ahead of the most enhanced and refined version of Switch in the form of Switch Galaxy Ultra on PS4 and PS Vita. Atomicom has PlayStation history running through its veins as their managing director is Gary Nichols who began his career in the videogame industry at the legendary Psygnosis who developed such amazing PS1 classics such as Colony Wars, Destruction Derby and WipEout. The Liverpool based indie developer Atomicom is active in their charitable work as the game has downloadable content called the Charity Pack which supports Caudwell Children with the full proceeds of that particular pack being donated to support poor, sick and disabled children which is certainly a nice way of giving back to the community and those less fortunate.

British Progressive Rock has been in such a rude state of health of late that it hardly seems a surprise when another group of musicians go down the long and ethereal note filled road. The genre has not reached the awful state of affairs that saw it nearly die a bloated thousand deaths in the 1970s, thankfully there is more than enough room in the 21st Century for well-worked, encouraging words of wisdom from the world of Prog.

There is no doubting that Sir Paul McCartney is one of Liverpool’s and indeed the U.K.’s favourite sons. The songs he co-wrote with John Lennon has rightly passed down generation after generation of music lovers to the point where surely at any point in time around the world a song he wrote, whether with the Beatles or his lengthy solo career, a song he lovingly crafted and put together, is being played on a radio station, in a Juke Box or on a record or C.D. player with reverence.

Sometimes all you want from an album is to have a big stupid smile of unrepentant joy plastered all over what is otherwise could be a thoughtful and sensible face.
Music is not just there to make you think, reflect and contemplate the meaning behind the songs, sometimes it is more than enough to just really understand that what we are here for ultimately is too have a bit of fun and entertain ourselves without ever hurting anyone or anything else. For The BossHoss and their latest album, God Loves Cowboys, this is Country Rock with an outrageous smile and the knowing nod to an era when a lyric could raise a grin without going down the endless road of over sexualisation or resorting to outdated stereotyping.

There is the sound of the low down and dirty, the irresponsibility of youth that we all secretly adore as they go out with guns blazing and an attitude in which once past a certain age can wither and die like a leaf under-nourished by the autumn sun.

Ever since Doctor Who was bought back with a blaze of undeniable glory in 2005, the Christmas special has been a much look-forward to event, on the whole it has delivered, sometimes, thankfully not often, it has been a major let down, like finding out there are no roast potatoes on offer at your in-laws house but they spent all year preparing a room full of stinking and putrid sprouts.
They buried me this morning and by all accounts it was a very moving service. The memory of my mother’s loud wailing echoed around the dirty soil, infiltrating its every pore and molecule, bypassing every worm and mole that had stopped and bowed their heads in perhaps a kind of animalistic worship, the kind that at some point would turn into the possibility of food and further enriching of the mud that would surround the casket.

Arguably the most seductive of sounds, aside from an engrossing violin being played under a dimly lit street lamp as it serenades a lover from the tender arms of Morpheus, is that of the guitar. The finally polished wood in tune with a good set of fingers and a lung busting pocket of air can sweep a person off their feet and lead them down a road to expectant, gratified glee. In the hands of a master it’s like being kissed by an angel who has just found out that life is meant to be lived and not just waiting on a command, in the hands of Javier Vargas and the Vargas Blues Band it s like finding out that angel has been living next door for years and has had a crush on you forever.

Time asks nothing more of us than we can actually do, it might cajole or urge with a hint of bitterness in its rasping, fog like voice to do more and more, but in the end Time has a habit of letting us know that the job is done and to think back on all we have created or even regretfully destroyed. Like the fact that no poem is ever finished, no piece of art is ever truly completed; Time to always add one more note to the ever changing puzzle before us.
